Protip: fat does not make you "fat". It's the carbs like you said. Some good sources would be animal fat, fish, avocados, olive oil, macadamia nuts, eggs. Sweet potatoes are also good for getting in those extra calories. You mostly want to up your intake of meat.

Good day.

Im 19 years old, college basketball player, and i was hoping you could give me some advices on how to add a few pounds with foods that wont make me break out.

I work out a lot, lifting, basketball, im a very active person.

Bad thing that i have always been on the skinny side, and after a knee injury which prevented me from playing any sports for almost a year, and eating lots of vegetables, drinking lots of water and reducing carbohydrates intake, i have dropped several pounds.

Now im trying to gain about 15 pounds to be where i was at, but it's pretty difficult since carbs are the worst enemy for acne, and fats aint good either (im trying to add pounds of muscle, nobody wants a fat point guard, i aint no Raymond Felton hahaha).

So could you give me any advice on how to add pounds with foods that are safe for acne? For example, whole wheat toasts with extra olive virgin oil, etc.

Also, if anybody knows about any threat on webpage where this topic has already been discussed, i would appreciate you to post the link.

Thanks for reading, im willing to hear your answers.

How was your acne like prior to you getting injured? If it was low, than I suggest you just eat what you were eating prior (when you had your ideal weight).

Don't be dissing on felton!

also, what is your diet as of now?

Before the injury i had no acne, i was injuried from October 2011 to March 2012. Since i was skinny all my life, i used to eat junk food, lots of fried foods, pizzas etc and never had acne during my teenage years. When i got injuried, i lost pounds of muscle, because i had to be in a wheelchair, 0 physical activities etc, also since i didn't exercise, i wasn't that hungry, in fact i was a lil bit deppresed, so my food intake dropped considerably.

My acne appeared on September 2012 just on the forehead, got clear thanks to topical medication, then a couple months later i started develop acne on jawline and chin ( i guess its hormonal because now im having more facial hair etc) and i changed my diet in order to help my acne.

As of now, my diet consists on lots of vegetables, salads, lots of fruits, chicken, turkey and fish. I dont eat "bad carbs" such as pasta, white bread... i also dont eat fried foods like french fries, and have no sweets, no soda, no chips etc

I agree with you that those food can help me getting in calories, but is there any food i could eat before practices, gym and games?

I mean, in my team, before practices, before games and before hitting the gym people eats lots of carbs, pasta, rice. Is there any food that could substitute "bad carbs". is whole wheat pasta a safe food or just less harmful for acne?

Also, do you know if whey protein shakes can make me break out?
